I'm sure Mauricio would be happy to do it, but so am I. You may want to
hold off a little while until I release rc2, which may be a few hours away.

It depends on what is in the PPD and what kind of auto-dependency
features the ActiveState installer has. Given Perl 5.8 and your current
PPD, does Bioperl install with the same or fewer number of skips if you
also install Bundle::BioPerl first? That is, does Bundle::BioPerl even
do anything useful anymore? If not, obviously don't bother making it a
pre-req. If it does, my opinion is that you make it a pre-req. If people
really don't want to install the optional stuff they can download the
.zip file and install manually without even a make.
